Thanks Pengy:

Quotation: "By "hypocrisy" Mr Morgan is referring to the SPCA saying they do not condone cruelty towards animals, while also condemning 1080. He is of the opinion that by opposing 1080, the SPCA is condoning cruelty to animals via introduced pests."

Why, Gary, is it more cruel for a native species to be killed by an introduced species rather than by an indigenous species??? And do said species kill slowly, causing an agonising death that takes a mean of 11 hours?

Morgan does not admit that 1080 is cruel to animals who have done nothing wrong except be born in the wrong place. He could at least contradict that it is cruel. His omission to contradict speaks volumes.

Deliberate cruelty to animals should be limited to medical textbooks on psychopathy, but in NZ it's mainstream. The shame of it.
